Abstract
Example embodiments relate to systems and methods for processing an image in optical microscopy, such as for a CMOS camera used as an optical detector in a line confocal fluorescent imager. The method includes acquiring a raw image with a microscope, and asymmetrically deconvolving at least a portion of the raw image using a point-spread function that is different in an X-direction than in a Y-direction in order to generate an asymmetrically deconvolved image. When the image is a monochromatic fluorescence image, the method also includes compressing CMOS camera noise. Also provided is a system for processing an image in optical microscopy and an image processing system for processing a monochromatic image from a CMOS camera-based line-scan confocal fluorescent microscope.
